Thomas Hauser is best known as Muhammad Ali's biographer and for
his recording of the contemporary boxing scene. "Booklist" called
Hauser "the most respected boxing journalist working today and
perhaps the best ever." Robert Lipsyte said Hauser is "the best
boxing writer of our time." Still, Hauser's love of sports began
not with boxing but with baseball.
Long before he turned to the sweet science, America's national
pastime had captured his heart. His childhood allegiance was to the
New York Yankees. Growing up in the suburbs of New York, he cheered
for the Giants in football and Knicks in basketball. In college,
the often-hapless Columbia Lions became his cause.
"Thomas Hauser on Sports" brings together Hauser's articles on
sports other than boxing. It combines personal memories with
issue-oriented commentary and an intimate look at some of the most
remarkable athletes of modern times.
Hauser has dealt one-on-one with Ted Williams, Mickey Mantle,
Arnold Palmer, Pete Rose, Arthur Ashe, Wilt Chamberlain, and other
giants of sports. He has crossed swords with the likes of Marvin
Miller and Howard Cosell. "Thomas Hauser on Sports" is a remarkable
journey that begins in the days of Hauser's youth and follows the
games we play into the era of steroids and multi-billion-dollar
television contracts.
